The way Medium works is impressive for those who wish to have some income writing. I wish there was a similar blockchain based / decentralized app where authors and editors would get their fair share and is not owned by just a company which could change policies at any time.

Totally disagree. IMHO I’ve tried both IntelliJ and Eclipse and felt IntelliJ to be really complex and non intutive. I can do tasks very quickly in Eclipse using shortcuts I’m familiar with. I also often feel the features of IntelliJ are over exaggerated and almost all the things can be done in Eclipse if you know how to use it. Once, I sat with a dev who was trying to evangelize IntelliJ in our workplace (and influence our manager to purchase licences)and explained alternatives in Eclipse for almost all the ‘awesome’ features he showed in IntelliJ. He simply didn’t know what eclipse could do. For me Eclipse starts really fast, I really like the UI better than IntelliJ. I believe Eclipse provide really awesome features for a free software and on the otherside IntelliJ doesn’t provide enough features for it’s heavy price. It seems many programmers (not all) these days feel fancy about boasting they use a paid IDE to hide their actual incompetence in programming. ( Ps: opinion only from java perspective)

I recommend you try to remove the PhD from your qualification and apply for some jobs. I know a friend who concealed that he has a PhD. He wouldn't get a job because he is overqualified for most of them (and companies think they have to pay him a lot). Just give it a try.

I would recommend you use your expertise wisely to the less areas to build tangible product outcomes that actualy help humanity. I recently brought a drone kit & raspberrypi and built one with a vision to use it help for farming/agriculture/seed-bombing etc. This required me to move out of my desk and play with the hardware and eventually go outside to test it. At fist you may think its impossible to learn robotics stuffs since you are just a programmer. But trust me, if I can do it with no experience in Robotics, you definitely can. That way you can make use of your existing skill, learn new ones and see tangible outcomes. IMHO I always wonder what happened to the future. There is a huge gap in robotics today. We should've built better things than facebook, twitter with computers by now.

I agree with both your feedback. This is an experimental app. For me, learning the order of keys was the most difficult part when I started to learn typing. I wonder if people who are not familiar with touch typing (if anyone exists) may find it easier. Lets see. Thanks again btw.

The QWERTY model keyboard was designed to be used on physical typewriters and keyboards where we use all 10 fingers for typing. The letters were arranged in QWERTY because it’s the optimal the order of popular usage of keys. So frequently used keys were arranged together closest to all the fingers.

Today we only used both our thumbs to type on our smartphones and there is no need to keep following the complex QWERTY arrangement (unless you are a trained touch typing ninja who knows the full QWERTY order like the back of your hand).

It’s time to follow the obvious ABC order of keys in smartphone keyboards

Solar powered drones that could autonomously plant tree seeds, water them from nearby water sources until it can sustain itself. Hence help make the world greener and combat CO2 emisson. There are plenty of deserted areas without trees that can be taken advantage of. I have plans to work on this on long-term. DM me if you have any details that can help me make this drone.

Recently, I found some things that works for me and put it out as a book. Interestingly, I finished the book also using the same techniques. A key trick to keep you motivated is to reward yourself handsomely and IMMEDIATELY if you achieve the goal on the PLANNED DATE. For eg. I rewarded myself an iPhone 7 plus ( which is currently the hottest phone in the market) for finishing the book in 30 days. This helps you overcome the fear of loss that, what if no one buys your product and your effort goes in vain. However I still find marketing is harder! (My book here:http://amzn.to/2iUYaOH )
